TL;DR

The European Space Agency's Euclid spacecraft is set to launch on July 1st on a mission to investigate the dark universe, with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope as its partner. Euclid will study dark energy, the force believed to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe, by surveying 1.5 billion galaxies from the early universe. The data collected will help scientists understand the nature of dark energy and potentially lead to a better understanding of the laws of nature. The James Webb Space Telescope will complement Euclid's mission by providing deeper follow-up observations and investigating outliers in the data.
